Hi,
I'm configuring my network settings with linuxconf, setting IP address
to "x". /etc/hosts correctly reflects the changes, however,
surprisingly, "ifconfig" reports totally irrelevant numbers in "inet
addr" (not "x")
I get "network unreachable" whenever I try to do something. However,
"tcpdump" gives non-trivial output on eth0.
What can be wrong?
Thank you

What kind of network connection do you have? It's possible you should be
requesting your computer's IP address via DHCP instead of setting it
manually. If you have a cable or DSL connction this is almost certainly
the case - switch eth0 from "manual" to "DHCP" in linuxconf or netconf,
and make sure that /etc/hosts gives 127.0.0.1 as the entry for
localhost.localdomain.
If that doesn't do the trick, or if you have a different type of
connection... What's the incorrect IP address that's showing under
ifconfig?

Hello, folks.
I'll keep this brief...
I've got an sb16 sound card functioning in my machine quite nicely
using the latest alsa drivers. All is peachy. XMMS works fabulously; I can
create mp3's with wavrec and lame. No problems.
HOWEVER! I have yet to figure out how to multitrack (record and play
back simultaneously) with this setup. Tha alsa drivers allegedly support
this (OSS free doesn't).
Anyone got this working? I've tried slab and multitrack, but I must be
missing something!
Please help! I wanna JAM!
Pete.

because you forgot to partition cylinders 1 to 126.
DOS is too braindead to be able to find itself on some partition that
starts somewhere halfway up your disk.
repartition your disk, make cylinders 1 to 126 your c: drive.
This will also gain you and extra gigabyte or so (:
make it bootable from a dos floppy by executing "format c: /s" from the
dos bootfloppy.
then install linux, write a good /etc/lilo.conf.
execute lilo, and if all went well from the lilo prompt you will be able
to boot into dos.
Now, what you read in the fdisk manpage is a disclaimer, where the
buggyness that is referred to perhaps points to fdisks idiotic behavior
to start the cylindercount at 1 instead of 0.
However, this doesn't say that you cannot write a suitable partitiontable
with it.

A small piece of unsolicited advice: if you learn everything you need to
know for your job on the job, go find another job. Only then will you stop
getting paid to work and start getting paid to learn and play. It's the job
that forces you to learn and grow outside of the confines of the office that

Not right. A district court judge in Ohio ruled that cryptography source

court of appeals has ruled that source code for software is speech.

Well, I cannot boot to a DOS floppy, even if delete current hdc1 and
make a primary FAT partition at 1 based cylinder 1 to 126, zeroes the
boot sector (and backup boot sector if FAT32), and make that partition
active, and insert the disk as hda.
Now what? How can I then do format c: /s
Please note that I know the explanation. You are completely wrong.
DOS/Windows has no problems with primary FAT partitions that are not
in the beginning of the disk. At least not with a single primary FAT
partition at cylinder 126 to 255.

Is this to say that DYNIX/ptx (brand name of Sequent Computer Systems,
which was acquired by IBM last September is not a member of this group ? I
would find it hard to believe that it is not as real of a UNIX as any other!

First you have to log in at your Windows-Client with the same
user/password-combination as you would log in on your linux-server (just
create a user with yast on SuSE).
Second you have to modify your /etc/smb.conf. There should be an entry for
your share. In the section for this share there should be a line like
[share xy]
...
VALID USERS={login_name}
...
Third you have to enable plain password text on your Win-Client. Just add a
DWORD in the registry under:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\VxD\VNETSUP]
"EnablePlainTextPassword"=dword:00000001

Here's a similar problem: when I boot using loadlin and start xdm, the

Subject: Question for RIGHTS on /dev/ttyS2 after a new getty/mgetty/uugetty ---
IMPORTANT !!!
Date: 8 Aug 2000 09:22:15 GMT
I have this situation that 2 (RedHat) linux servers need to communicate
with each other.
Let's say server A and server B. This is to use UUCP.
All UUCP things are OK. When server A (via UUCP) copies files to server B
this works excellent. It works all the time.
But... (here's the problem) : When server B only once called server A the
rights of /dev/ttyS2 on server A are reset to:
"crwx------", the owner becomes "root" and the group becomes "tty".
Ofcourse... when server B ends the connection a new getty/mgett/uugetty is
initialized for /dev/ttyS2 and at this point the rights (as described
above) are set for /dev/ttyS2. Now... my UUCP is not working anymore :-(((
>From this moment on it is not possible anymore to use UUCP because the
access is denied for this proces.
When I manually set the rights for /dev/ttyS2 to "crwxrwxrwx" or set the
owner to user "uucp" the UUCP is working again.
...until server B calls server A again.
How do I get the rights to "crwxrwxrwx" or set the user to "uucp" on device
/dev/ttyS2 automaticly every time a new getty/mgetty/uugetty is initialized
???
